No. 238. — The Planet, Jr., Garden 
Drill, Wheel Hoe, Wheel Cultivator, 
and Wheel Plow, Combined.-This combi¬ 
nation of garden tools is one of the most valuable ever 
offered to our readers. The four engravings show a por¬ 
tion of the combinations. As a Drill, it is capable of 
sowing the whole list of garden seeds, being furnished 
with an adjustable opening plow, patent dropping and 
covering devices, and a marker and roller. As a Wheel 
Hoe, it hoes close and thoroughly the smallest plants. As 
a Wheel Cultivator, one can do as much with it as six 
with hand hoes. In addition to these useful combina¬ 
tions, the tool is provided with an elegant polished steel 
plow, an ever useful assistant in the garden from spring 
until fall. The makers claim that this combination is 
the most valuable ever offered to the gardener. The 
price is but little more than that of an ordinary seed- 
drill, yet the additional combinations are many times 
more useful than the drill alone. Descriptive catalogues 
will be sent on aoplication by postal card to the manu¬ 
facturers, S. L. Allen & Co., 229 Market St., Philadel¬ 
phia, Pa. We present this premium for 16 subscriptions

No. 239. —The Planet, Jr., Double 
Wheel Hoe, Wheel Plow and Cultiva¬ 
tor.—Garden and drilled crops must be hoed con¬ 
stantly, and this tool, in its present improved form, does 
its work so much more closely and perfectly than the 
most skilled hand labor, that no market gardener, root 
grower, onion grower, nurseryman, or plant grower can 
afford to be without one. The great ease and speed with 
which the work of hoeing drilled crops can be accom¬ 
plished with this tool, makes it possible to tend a large 
crop at the proper time. All are tempered Steel, hand¬ 
somely polished. The advantages of a good Double 
Wheel Hoe are numerous; working both sides of the 
same row at once, all bends in the row are readily fol¬ 
lowed, and the work done far closer and better, and also 
easier, from the attention being directed to but one row 
at a time. The tool weighs about 20 pounds, and being 
used with a stroke and punching motion, is very effective 
in all kinds of soil. From same makers as No. 238. Eleven 
subscriptions at $1.50 each will secure this. [Or we will 
supply it on receipt of the price, $9.] Receiver in either 
case to pay for transportation from the manufactory.

every way in an excellent manner. With it almost the 
whole work of a garden can be accomplished with ease, 
thoroughness, and rapidity, the slight weeding or hoeing 
needed directly in the row excepted. 5 subscriptions', at 
$1.50 each, will secure this. [Or we will send one on re¬ 
ceipt of $3.50.] Receiver in either case to pay carriage 
by express or freight. These Hand Hoes are made by
